What's New?

Roadworks in the Village
Works to replace gas mains will commence on Tuesday 30th June and could take approximately 4 weeks. The works will be from opposite Dale Road by the pond and continue up through the village as far as West Leys Road and one-way traffic lights will be operating.

Greater Gutter Lane Safety petition bears fruit
The following work is now almost completed:

Much improved signage and advisory lane markings at all 4 junctions.

Double white lines (mandatory non-overtaking) with central "cats eyes" on just past the Mill road junction on approximately half a mile of twisting road (the "chicane"). It is hoped that the traffic police can ensure some enforcement of this new safety feature.

Plant Thieves Strike in Swanland
During the night of June 17th all of the plants in the round tubs by the pond, painstaking planted out by the Village Garden group, mysteriously disappeared. Apparently similar raids have been experienced in neighbouring Villages. Anyone who heard or saw anything suspicious please contact Mal Cracknell on 632 282 or the local Police on 0845 606 0222 or Richard.Eglen@humberside.pnn.police.uk

UPDATE for above

Due to intelligence received, Brough Police have carried out a search for stolen items at an address. This has resulted in a large amount of garden ornaments, plants, vases etc being seized. If anyone has had any items of this nature stolen, please contact Brough Police Station on 01482 630000 to arrange an appointment to identify your stolen items.

Pond Project

A grant was received from Awards For All for £9,744 to fund a series of measures to improve the pond surrounds and its water quality. Preliminary work took place on Sat 30 May and the main work was undertaken on Sat 6 June.

Swanland Pond
Please do not pollute the Pond - If you want to feed the ducks throw small pieces into the tarmac (not into the water) or better still - use grain. Proper duck food is available from the Peppertree florist, the Pub and McColl's shop.

Village Signs Project

The SVA has commissioned two village signs for Swanland. They depict a Swan on a blue background in an oval gold frame.

The signs measure approximately one metre across with the village name in green and gold underneath. They should be ready in early summer.
